ANNOUNCING FALL EVENT!
Nerd Games Junk Journal Event
Want to try out junk journaling? Now is the time!
Make a junk journal during the Fall 2023 Nerd Games season and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win an Amazon gift card! (Winner will be drawn after the season ends and gift card will be sent electronically. Winner must provide an email address for delivery.)
I’m putting together a tutorial post to share my favorite junk journaling tips and ideas, which will be ready by Fall. There are so many ways to make junk journals and they can be as simple or as elaborate as you’d like. I’ll be sure to share the post when it’s ready so you can start thinking of ideas!
Use your own supplies, or if you need supplies, read below!
Need supplies?
I have 10 junk journal making kits to send to Nerd Games players who want to try out junk journaling and who will commit to posting their finished journal by the end of the Fall season (December 31, 2023). Due to cost, kits can only be shipped to the USA. I will announce/close the requests once all kits are claimed.
Kits are available to the first 10 people who submit the form below. You must have played in at least one season of the Nerd Games prior to Fall 2023 to request a kit (the current Summer season counts).
Kits include:
-
A book cover
-
Materials for binding
-
Various papers for pages
-
Ephemera and embellishments for decoration
-
Awl
-
Glue stick
Paper elements will be a mix of mostly new and some vintage materials. Each kit will be unique with some shared common elements.
You’ll need to provide your own:
- Scissors and/or paper trimmer
Optional items:
-
Tape roller or glue dots
-
Gesso
-
Other papers and embellishments you want to use
-
Other tools (e.g., bone folder, others to embellish pages, like a sewing machine, paper punches, etc.)
I need to receive requests before Saturday, September 2, 2023 to ensure there is enough time to prepare the kits and have them to players early next season. My goal is for them to arrive by October 15. (If you are receiving physical rewards from this season, I will be combining shipping and sending everything together.)
PM me the form below before Saturday, September 2, 2023.

I will use my kit to make a junk journal and to post the finished project in the Fall Nerd Games 2023 thread: (Yes/No)
Is there anything you’d be really jazzed to receive in terms of paper or ephemera, or is there a particular theme you’d like for your journal? (I cannot guarantee items to fit your preferences, and I’ll try include at least a few based on what I have available.)
